Yang Zhen did not want to take the risk that later generations of Soviet troops would face less than 3,000 defenders when they attacked Hutou Fortress. They deployed two aviation divisions, an artillery brigade, a large number of infantry, and tanks, consuming 7,000 soldiers. tons of artillery shells and thousands of casualties, but in the end there was no risk of being able to completely capture the Tiger Head Fortress.
When attacking such a fortified area with solid fortifications to defend, the more research you do, the more confident you will be, and you will suffer fewer casualties. However, he is not prepared to invest all the troops Du Kaishan has in the Banjie River area. , This is undoubtedly a waste of troops. The 1,500 Japanese troops and several regiments of Du Kaishan were all pinned down here.
In order to gain time, after Yang Zhen handed over the command of Baoqing's war to Wang Guangyu and Yi Jianping, he only bypassed the two main battlefields of Jiaxinzi line and the southern Hongling line. If you want to go to the battlefield, or if you encounter a small group of Japanese troops, you will force them through.
Although he took a considerable risk and crossed directly from the battlefield, it was already the next morning when Yang Zhen arrived at Du Kaishan's headquarters in Dong'an City. After arriving in Dong'an, he watched Du Kaishan's headquarters in Puppet Manchuria. The guard at the Dong'an Provincial Government Building, who was heavily guarded, smiled and joked to Du Kaishan, who didn't even bother to put on his military cap when he heard that he had arrived: "The security here is even stricter than mine. You have such a big pomp."
Du Kaishan is very courageous. In the words of his old partner Tao Jingfei, his courage has grown hairy. There is nothing in the world that he dare not do. He is the kind of person who dares to stab someone in the sky if given a pair of wings. The owner of the cave can fight, but he also has a lot of trouble with this guy.
Du Kaishan has a problem. He is not afraid of Yang Zhen's anger, but he is afraid of Yang Zhen's smile. When Yang Zhen smiles, he always has a creepy feeling. In Tao Jingfei's words, No. 1 is born to restrain him, and the entire military region can restrain him. The only people holding him were No. 1 and No. 3. If a third person were to replace him, they probably wouldn't be able to suppress him.
Seeing Yang Zhen's smile, Du Kaishan couldn't help but tremble, and quickly explained: "No. 1, don't get me wrong, I'm not talking about grandeur. Although we captured Dong'an City and Mishan County in a surprise attack, they completely wiped them out. We had regular puppet Manchukuo military police and Japanese garrison, but the enemy and puppet forces were unable to be eliminated for a while, and their activities were rampant."
"These local snakes are extremely hostile to our army. They rely on their familiarity with the geographical environment and human numbers. Although they dare not confront our army head-on, they always harass us secretly. It has been less than forty-eight hours since the troops occupied Dong'an and Mishan County. , it has been attacked many times.”
"Only last night, there was a night of gunfire throughout Dong'an City. Our military patrols were attacked several times. Two soldiers died, a submachine gun was robbed, and a captured munitions warehouse was burned. If it were not rescued, In time, all the large amounts of clothing and flour accumulated in the warehouse were destroyed, the artillery station was harassed several times, two pack horses were poisoned, the field telephone lines were cut several times, and the soldiers checking the lines were attacked several times. Three people were injured and one is missing. To this day, no one is alive and no body is found dead.”
"Even my headquarters has been shot several times. A guard soldier was injured. The staff officer went to inspect the work and had to bring a whole class of guards with him. I personally don't care about my headquarters, but there are There are a large number of radio stations and high-level codes, top-secret maps, and a large number of combat plans. Once an accident occurs, the troops will suffer heavy losses."
Seeing Du Kaishan, who was always fearless, frowning when he mentioned these troublemakers, Yang Zhen frowned and said: "You, Du Kaishan, are omnipotent, why are you just using these guys who are making trouble?" There is no other way, where has all your usual ability gone?"
Du Kaishan said with a bitter face when he heard this: "No. 1, if this is an upright fight on the battlefield, we, Old Du, won't be afraid of anyone, but these damn guys specialize in doing evil things behind the scenes, playing sap and playing dirty tricks. It's a bit tricky for me to play this game, we can't just grab them indiscriminately."
"These guys are all wearing ordinary people's clothes, and they don't have a trace of military smell on them. They usually look like ordinary people. It's really hard to tell them apart. After shooting a black gun, they go home and hide. No one can tell that this guy did it at night. What, we can’t arrest all the people in Dong’an, I really have nothing to do with these rats now.”
Yang Zhen looked at the new problems that he was not adapting to in the new situation, while Du Kaishan, who was looking a little sad, thought for a while and then picked up the map of the entire Dong'an city and said: "This is easy to handle. I will solve it for you. You can immediately mobilize a group. I will surround Dong'an City on all sides. Dong'an City is not big, and a group of 3,000 people is enough. Remember, after the blockade is completed, you can only enter but not leave. No matter what happens, no one is allowed to leave the city."
After that, Yang Zhen grabbed the red and blue pencils and divided the entire Dong'an city into six equal lanes: "In these six areas, put two companies in each of them, with your headquarters as the center point, and expand from the outside to the inside. A carpet search, remember that I have to search every house, and I have to search carefully, even digging three feet into the ground."
"Even if these people usually look like ordinary people, they must have guns and bullets to engage in illegal activities. Even if they pretend to be ordinary people during the day, they must find a place to hide their guns and ammunition. From what you said, Judging from the situation, their guns and ammunition should be hidden with them."
"In addition, you arrest all non-outsiders in the entire Dong'an city, and carefully investigate them one by one. The focus is on the Japanese gathering places, brothels and opium dens in Dong'an city, but don't focus solely on these places. , those residential buildings must also be inspected with emphasis.”
Du Kaishan thought for a while and then said: "No. 1, you still have a way. I will go and arrange it. This time I will dig out all the rats. Damn it, you dare to do something secretly against me." Soldier, I must kill these bastards alive."
Looking at Du Kaishan, who was a little excited, Yang Zhen raised a finger and said: "I can only give you one day. Before dusk tonight, leave one regiment to continue to guard the Japanese troops in the direction of Hulin. The rest are all Go south and seize half of the Japanese fortification area along the river border."
Speaking of this, Yang Zhen said: "You first mobilize your troops and arrange what I said. As for the specific implementation, let the people below implement it. We will study how to capture this Banjiehe fortress area and the Dongning fortress group in the south. , this is a new topic.”
Du Kaishan agreed, and immediately picked up the phone to make a call, but Yang Zhen held him down: "Use a telegram, not a phone. Remember, the phone lines here are all laid by the Japanese and puppet troops. Those who are enemies, puppets and traitors on these phone lines We know better than we do that using telegrams will provide better confidentiality. Until the enemies, puppets and traitors are eliminated, telegrams will be used."
"In addition, you will cordon off all the Japanese-inhabited areas in the city, including the entire Mishan territory, as well as all the Japanese pioneering corps' stations in the entire Mishan territory. All food and other necessary supplies must be distributed at a minimum per capita. , we must not let them eat too much and cause trouble, and we must also ensure that no one starves to death."
"When the war in Hongling and Baoqing is over, everything will be transferred to Luobei and Xingshan and handed over to the Military Region Logistics Department. Our coal mine in Xingshan now needs a large number of laborers. These Japanese are very valuable laborers. If there is a Mass death events, firstly, have a bad impact on us, and secondly, they are very unsuitable for our current situation of severe labor shortage."
"Remember, apart from illness, these people are absolutely not allowed to die abnormally. Also, you will select all Japanese technical personnel, including all intellectuals and medical staff, and hand them over The Political Department of the Military Region and the Military Region will have other uses, and all the agricultural science and technology personnel will be singled out for me."
"I tell you Du Kaishan, if you can handle this matter for me, I will give you a surprise in two days, and it will be a big surprise. If you can't handle it, nothing will come of it and I will punish you. "
Du Kaishan was stunned by the surprise in Yang Zhen's mouth. He could see the inexplicable smile on Yang Zhen's face that made him feel creepy, and he didn't dare to ask more about what the surprise was. However, he thought that no matter what No. 1 did, he would No matter what thoughts you have, it will harm yourself, so I have no intention of asking.
Du Kaishan, who was only thinking about how to eliminate all Japanese and traitor lurkers in Mishan as soon as possible, did not argue with Yang Zhen. Originally, he wanted to arrange it himself, but under Yang Zhen's order, He could only find his chief of staff, Sui Changsheng, and hand over the matter to Sui Changsheng himself for execution.
As chief of staff, Sui Changsheng, who had also been harassed by Japanese traitors, his eyes lit up when he heard Du Kaishan explain the order almost verbatim, and he hurriedly called in staff members to seize the time to make arrangements.
As the chief of staff in charge of military aircraft, Sui Changsheng can be said to be the most direct victim of these conspiracies. When Du Kaishan reported to Yang Zhen, he still left some leeway and only reported some typical incidents. In fact, he After the recapture of Dong'an and Mishan counties, the security situation deteriorated sharply, and the situation was far worse than what Du Kaishan reported.
In the face of the strict mass discipline of the army, Sui Changsheng, who was somewhat helpless, was almost annoyed. Although patrol troops were deployed in various aspects and the security work at the army station was strengthened, attacks still occurred from time to time, and the security situation was still changing rapidly. decline.
Not only were the patrols and military bases repeatedly attacked, but a security guard of a regiment leader went to the street to buy a pack of cigarettes for the leader. In broad daylight, his military uniform was stripped off by several people, his gun was also taken away, and the staff officer went to the police station. Street drew a city defense map, was shot, and is still unconscious and is being rescued.
In Mishan County, there was even a case where a female soldier from the Propaganda Team of the Political Department went to the street to buy some sanitary products, but disappeared inexplicably. In the end, the head of the garrison arrested all the local Puppet Manchukuo policemen and threatened them with shooting. After being missing for six hours, the female soldier who had been raped by more than a dozen people and had fallen into a coma was rescued in a brothel. This was an extremely bad incident. The impact of this incident was extremely bad, and although the person was rescued, But it left him with a lifelong disability.
When those people refused to speak and refused to explain who snatched away the female soldiers and sold them to brothels, the garrison commander was furious and took the brothel owner, the old madam, and five other people to the brothel. The six thugs and the Puppet Manchukuo policemen, regardless of their size, were all escorted to the square in front of the Puppet Manchukuo County Office in the center of the county. They were picked on with bayonets in broad daylight in front of the people in the city who were invited with guns. Now, the district political commissar Huang Yuqing is still dealing with the impact of this incident in Mishan County.
